Where: Bayern, Germany (48.7° N, 12.0° E: paleocoordinates 49.0° N, 10.6° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)
• mittlere Serie der Oberen Süßwasser-Molasse (middle series of Upper Freshwater Molasse); Above the "Brockhorizont" (generated by the Ries-impact). The Channal fill is located about 6 m above the collection Gisseltshausen 1a in the same outcrop.
•the Ries ejecta are 14.88 +/- 0.11 Ma old (Aziz et al. 2007), implying a Langhian age
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; unlithified, sandy marl
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: bulk, sieve,
• Most fossils are stored in the Bayerische Staatssammlung
